The most conventional of
the Edgar Broughton Band
's first (and best) three albums, 1971's
Edgar Broughton Band
finds the group dispensing with the no-holds-barred mania and theatricality responsible for such classics as
"Out Demons Out,"
"Up Yours,"
and
"Apache Drop Out"
and concentrating instead on more musical endeavors. It's an approach that arguably captures the band at its very best at the same time as revealing it at its ugliest. The two-part epic
"For Dr. Spock"
conjures images of
Gong
, as it drifts closer to
space rock
than
the Edgar Broughton Band
had hitherto ventured, while
"House of Turnabout"
certainly restates the group's free-freak credentials with its rumbling percussion and scything guitars, a second cousin to the roars that punctuated
Wasa Wasa
and
Sing Brother Sing
. The heart of
Edgar Broughton Band
, however, lies elsewhere. The lilting chant
"Thinking About You,"
with its spectral reminders of
John Lennon
's
"Working Class Hero,"
is certainly one of their most rancorous concoctions, while
"Evening Over Rooftops"
rides an acoustic guitar as pretty as its flowery lyric, but you know there's something rotten squirming just below the surface, even if you can never quite put your finger on it. The pure
pop
backing vocals, all "sha-la-la" and "doo-be-doo-be-doo," of course, only add to your unease. And, as that is merely the opening number, you can guess what you're in for over the rest of the album long before you actually get it. [The reissue includes the bonus tracks
"Hotel Room,"
"Call Me a Liar,"
and
"Bring It On Home."
